Rodriguez and Machado: The Two Powerful Women Shaping Venezuela's Future

Following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, two women are emerging as the most likely leaders of Venezuela: Delcy Rodríguez, the current acting president, and María Corina Machado, the opposition leader. Donald Trump appears to favor Rodríguez, as he believes Machado lacks sufficient domestic support. Rodríguez, a key figure in Chavismo, remains an enigma, with rumors linking her to the CIA and suggesting she orchestrated Maduro's arrest. Simultaneously, shocking testimonies are emerging regarding the fatal trap at Le Constellation in Cran Montana, Switzerland, with claims that at least one emergency exit was 'always locked'. This raises serious questions about the venue's safety and potential negligence on the part of the owners.
